APSIPA U.S. Local Chapter will organize a panel discussion on “Visual Coding for Machines” at 5-6:30pm PST,  Match 11, 2023

In recent years, visual data has become the dominating internet traffic. With the emerging 5G and internet of things (IoT) technologies, more and more images and videos are generated by edge devices, sent across networks, and analyzed by machines for tasks such as object detection, instance segmentation, and object tracking. While conventional visual coding techniques aim to preserve the pixel-level fidelity or perceptual quality of decoded images and videos, they are not optimal for machine vision tasks. Therefore, efficient visual coding for machines has become an important topic in academia and industry. This panel brings together experts who are working on related problems to discuss the current research and standardization efforts in the area, and generate ideas for future work.
